中國陶瓷自數千年前手捏低溫焙燒的陶瓷,發展至胎薄釉美,造型設計巧奪天工的各朝瓷器,陶瓷工藝成為中國國粹之一,舉世聞名、揚名全球。

陶瓷工藝源於實用,其後以典雅美觀取悅於人。 從越窯瓷器,得以品味唐代之茗茶風尚;從外銷瓷器,得以一窺中國古代之對外貿易;從貢瓷的規模,得以想像當年宮廷之豪華奢逸。(埏埴巧工, 2011)

欣賞陶瓷展覽,細讀相關解說,令人深深陶醉於文學藝術交融之境界。

Developing from raw potteries to exquisite dynastic porcelains, Chinese ceramics possess a heritage of technical excellence and inspiration.
Chinese ceramics were originally created for daily use. Through gradual development, the ceramics have impressed worldwide people with the supreme craftsmanship. The jade-like Yue wares inspire the tea drinking vogue of the Tang dynasty. The exporting porcelains represent the history of China’s international trade. Tribute ceramics provide a glimpse of the Imperial court’s extravagance. (Gems of Chinese Ceramics, 2011)
I immerse myself in the world of art  and literature by admiring the Chinese ceramics exhibition and perusing the relevant literature explanation.
